Notice to members Re: Nominations to the Board

The WAC Nominating Committee takes a proactive role in determining the skills, strengths, and qualifications needed to serve on your Board.

The committee annually reviews the make-up of the WAC Board and determines any gaps that may exist in specific areas of expertise on the current Board. The general qualifications the Whistler Arts Council is looking for ranges from strategic thinking and board governance experience, to financial expertise, a proven ability to work well in a team environment, community connections, cultural planning and the ability to commit the time required.

All candidates will be interviewed to determine their motivation and competencies. The current Board of Directors will present a slate of recommended nominees at the Annual General Meeting based on skills and qualifications needed on the Board. However, the membership retains the democratic right to vote for whomever they wish.

All potential Board members must be a member in good standing nominated by another member, by the Board, or by the Nominating Committee.

The deadline for nominations to the Board is Wednesday, May 18th by 5:00 p.m.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the WAC Board of Directors, please contact the Executive Director, Doti Niedermayer for more information at, 604-935-8234 or dniedermayer@artswhistler.com

—       Nominations from the floor of the AGM are prohibited, unless there are fewer candidates than there are positions to be filled, in which case nominations from the floor are permitted.
